The St. Vincent de Paul Society in Cincinnati and retailer Morris Furniture joined forces to provide 50 children in need with a bed of their own at the inaugural “Day to Dream” event at the P&G Cincinnati MLB Youth Academy in Roselawn, Ohio.
The event provided each child with a complete twin size bed set, including a mattress, box spring, bed frame, sheet set, comforter, blanket, pillow, teddy bear, Cincinnati Reds hat, and ball and bat.
Families also received lunch courtesy of Chick-fil-A locations in Springdale, Colerain, and Kenwood. They also learned about the opportunities to participate in free clinics offered by the Reds Community Fund for kids ages 5-18.
“Our volunteers visit the homes of our neighbors in need and often find a pile of blankets on the floor where each night a child lays down to sleep,” said Mike Dunn, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati. “The need for beds in our community is great and the generosity of the Morris Furniture Company will provide a good night’s sleep to many families.”
Throughout the year, a portion of all mattress purchases from Greater Cincinnati locations of The Better Sleep Shop inside Morris Home and Ashley HomeStore locations help St. Vincent de Paul provide beds to families across Cincinnati.
